Sandboxing for SMTP and Web

• Most next-generation sandboxing solutions designed to identify unknown malware are too complex and expensive for most businesses like yours to even consider. That’s why we’ve developed Sophos Sandstorm, a new subscription option that gives you an advanced malware defence solution that’s effective and affordable. Sandstorm is a cloud-based sandbox solution that provides targeted attack protection, visibility and analysis that rises above the competition.
• Sandboxing allows to enforce rules about sending items the users download to a sandboxing service before they get access to them so that the organization has protection against emerging threats that are not recognized by malware or URL scanning. Furthermore, it is possible to enforce rules about sending suspicious email attachments to a sandboxing service before the message containing them gets delivered so that the organization has protection against emerging threats that are not recognized by malware scanning

Clientless SSO (STAS)

• Sophos Transparent Authentication Suite (STAS) provides reliable transparent SSO authentication for network users, without requiring a client on the endpoint. STAS employs an agent on the Microsoft Active Directory Server that monitors and stores authentication activity and exchanges authentication information with the Sophos UTM, making user-based policy rules and enforcement easy.
